WORK COMMENCED. = Work has
been commenced at Harper's Ferry on
the property bought by the company
that proposes to erect paper and pulp
mills at that place. Superintendent
Quigley has about forty men at work
on the property along the Shenandoah
river, and is busily engaged in exca-
waiting and filling up prep
aratory to the erection of the new
buildings. 1t is the intention to pros
ecute the work as rapidly as possible,
and derricks and other necessary ia
cilities will be arranged at once. 1t is
to be hoped that no further legal diff
ficulties will be thrown in the way of
the enterprise, for it will certainly be
of incalculable benefit to Harper's
Ferry and the entire county.

ABOUT SPECTACLES.

People Not Timid About Wearing Them
They Used to BE.
al do not think that eye troubles are
on the increase said a dealer in
optical. goods, although the demand
for spectacles is greater in proportion
than the growth of population. The
reason for the Increase is that people
have less timidity about using specta-
cles- There is an impression, not yet
effaced, that the use of spectacles once
begun can never be laid aside. This
is not true The fact is that person
who really ought to use spectacles by
putting off the adoption of them only
necessitates the wearing of a higher
number when he does put them on;
whereas, if he had worn spectacles i'll
time he might have so nursed his ocular
strength as to discard them at pleasure,
for period at least
.-Are not eyeglasses very often worn
when there is no real need for themP"
'-Quite likely they are replied the
dealer, '+but l notice that the sale of
eyeglasses does not keep up in the
same proportion as the sale of specta-
eles- The eye-glass mania seems to be
dying out"
Where are spectacles manufac-
tured??'

are mostly ground abroad. Pebbles
are also ground to order here in special
cases.
II would sooner sell one pair of

Ethan half a dozen to a woman. A
woman seems to be more anxious as TO
how she will look ia the spectacles
than how she will look through them.

looking glasses here as big as those in

suPERsrlTIous TERROR.
The Power 10 May Exert Upon the Strength
and Even Life OF q Man.

The Power 10 May Exert Upon the Strength
and Even Life OF q Man.
One of the survivors of an early
Polar expedition lately told an incident
which illustrates the power which
superstitious terrors may exert upon
the strength and even life of a man.
One of the strongest and most hopeful
members of the expedition was young
Scotchman. The. party was obliged to
spend the second winter on the ice;
the rations were low, and many of the
men already had died of scurvy and
cold.
c., the Edinburgh man, though
weak, was the life of the party. HIS
joke and laugh never failed. One
night, after they had shifted camp to a
new place, he said: 81 am sure to go
back home. An old Gypsy read my
fortune ten years ago. l am to die jT
Van Dieman's Land, and it's many
league from here to there"
mot so far said one of his COM
panions. ''The captain named this
place Demons Land this morning.
That is near enough for your pur-
pose"
Qhe Scotchman laughed uneasily.
But from that moment he gave up all
energy and hope. In twenty-four
hours he was dead. Cold and hunger
did their part. But it was fear that
killed him at last
Among the records of Washington's
campaign of 1777, a well accredited
story is told of a young English officer,
Lord Percy, who served under Corn
wallis. On riding to the crest of the
hill which overlooked the Brandywine,
he suddenly checked his horse and
looked about him in silence for few
moments. He then said to a friend:
81 dreamed of this place before [ left
England. I saw it all, in every detail.
/ shall die here He called his sery-
ant, and gave him his money, watch
and a message for his mother. He was
one of the first men to fall in the en-
gagement The coincidence was singu-
lar. But when we consider that prob
ably ninety men in every hundred go
into battle believing that they shall
fail in it, the proof of the truth of pre-
sentiments is not established by one or
two fulfilled premonitions.
No record is preserved of the cases
in which very strong presentiment is
followed by events which bear no re-
semblance to those anticipated. These,
nevertheless, constitute SO large pro-
portion of the whole that when the
matter is viewed merely as a problem
of chances, it is extremely improbable
that any particular presentiment will
be fulfilled. Youths Companion.

Sharks in the Rhine.

In a bathing establishment in the
Rhine at Wyhlen, near Basle, conster-
nation was caused not very kong ago
by the capture of shark Of the species
called spotted dogfish. Its presence in
the peaceful waters of the Rhine was
finally accounted for as follows: Years

and he finally threw the survivors 5nto
an outlet of the springs emptying into
the lthine. 1t seems that just there
the conditions were favorable to the
propa CATION of some of the fish. Al
ready last May, laborer while bath
ing was bitten in the leg by what ne
described as a large animal, but his
story was not believed. Now, however.
since the presence of sharks has been
individually demonstrated, the author

after its capture. and was sent to the

CONSUMPTION, Wasting Diseases, and
General Debility. Doctors disagree as to
the relative value of Cod Liver Oil and
Hypophosphites the one supplying strength
and flesh, the other giving nerve power, and
acting as tonic to the digestive and entire
system. But in Scott's Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil with Hypophosphites the two are
combined, and the effect is wonderful.
Thousands who have derived no permanent
benefit from other preparations have been
cured by this. SCOTS Emulsion is perfect
ly palatable and is easily digested by those
who can not tolerate plain Cod Liver Oil.
